# BEYOND MORP: THE GAME OF THE BOOK OF THE MOVIE OF THE GAME
|
||||
## Complete production pack — cast v2 (fresh-eyes edit) + story arc + full shot list
|
||||
### One night, all clips. 2026-07-22.
|
||||
|
||||
The premise, one line: the wildly unfaithful $200M Hollywood adaptation of a text
|
||||
adventure about a cat-food run — played as a Dragon's Lair QTE game, heckled in
|
||||
real time by Barry, the one man who read the original.
|
||||
|
||||
Source canon (real, from morpquest/DESIGN.md on ultra — Barry quotes THIS):
|
||||
paperclip frees the seatbelt · Becky poster-frenzy shreds a Taylor poster, the
|
||||
fragments spell YARD DOOR SECRET · the vinyl vine "isn't a ladder. But it's
|
||||
climbable." · the roof has a door-shaped absence; Dave: "Yeah nah. That was NOT
|
||||
there." and shoulders it anyway · 45-adapter fixes the listening station · elastic
|
||||
band + sad balloon = eyepatch · clean sleeve tidies the shop, "Clerk notices.
|
||||
Pretends not to. But it counts." · beaded curtain → back room → the white label
|
||||
and delay notice were "always there" · lollipop disperses the Beckies · the mouldy
|
||||
kebab kills you (two warnings) · improvising the five words at the hive = the
|
||||
Becky-grue · THE FIVE WORDS, strict order: RSD, FIRST, GLOBAL, AMBASSADOR,
|
||||
VERSION → curse-broken, the hive blinks awake: "…why are we here?"
|
||||
|

|
||||
## 0. TONIGHT'S SETUP CHECKLIST (every RSG lesson, pre-applied)
|
||||
1. NEW Flow project: "BEYOND MORP THE MOVIE". Do not touch the RSG project.
|
||||
2. Settings: Confirm-before-generating ALWAYS · video default Veo 3.1 – Fast,
|
||||
16:9, 1x · images Nano Banana, x2.
|
||||
3. Agent side panel CLOSED at all times. Auto-Pilot idle (it is pinned to the RSG
|
||||
project — do not point it here tonight; paste manually, it's faster than fixing it).
|
||||
4. Build cast first (section 1), in order. Download EVERY approved Portrait/Body
|
||||
immediately → laptop folder → later vault to repo bible/flow_cards_bm/.
|
||||
5. Multi-character shots (marked ⑂): Veo caps at 3 reference images — use Omni
|
||||
Flash for those, or drop to the 2 most important cards.
|
||||
6. Deaths end HELD on a tableau. Actions end on a clean survivable beat.
|
||||
7. Run 2 takes per shot (re-paste), download both, judge later. ⭐QUALITY shots:
|
||||
Veo 3.1 – Quality, 2 takes, no more.
|
||||
8. If Flow throws "Something went wrong" twice in a row: STOP for 30+ minutes.
|
||||
That's the abuse throttle. Steady single-file pace never triggered it.
|
||||
9. Budget: ~46 shots × 2 takes ≈ 860cr Fast + 5 Quality shots ≈ +1000cr. Well
|
||||
inside what's left; surplus = extra takes on Act 3.
|
||||
|
||||
STYLE LINE — ends every prompt below, never abbreviate, never trim:
|
||||
"1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## 1. CAST v2 — fresh-eyes edits
|
||||
Changes from v1 draft: added per-character watch-lists (the RSG drift lessons),
|
||||
a no-weapons rule on The Guy, Barry re-staged for PiP compositing, Morp gets an
|
||||
isolated card + an establishing variant, Gerald and Becky tightened, and one new
|
||||
cameo that costs zero credits.
|
||||
|
||||
### THE GUY (movie-version protagonist)
|
||||
PORTRAIT — paste:
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, theatrical animated feature quality, thick
|
||||
confident ink outlines, painterly gouache rendering, dramatic colored rim
|
||||
lighting, saturated jewel-tone palette, subtle film grain. Not photorealistic,
|
||||
not 3D, not CGI. A single character portrait, one person only, no text anywhere,
|
||||
no weapons. A ludicrously handsome Hollywood action-hero version of an ordinary
|
||||
errand-runner: chiseled jaw with precise stubble, windswept brown hair, tight
|
||||
gray henley with one torn sleeve, tactical cargo pants, a bandolier of identical
|
||||
plain silver cat-food cans across his chest, and a crumpled handwritten note held
|
||||
reverently in one fist like a sacred scroll. Determined thousand-yard stare.
|
||||
Waist-up, plain softly blurred dark background.
|
||||
BODY — paste after portrait approved:
|
||||
Full body, same man, heroic wide stance, bandolier of plain silver cans, the
|
||||
crumpled note in one fist, scuffed hiking boots. Same style, plain background,
|
||||
no text, no weapons.
|
||||
INFO box:
|
||||
Treats a cat-food run like a special-forces operation. Slow-motion walks, intense
|
||||
close-ups, meaningful stares at the shopping list. Everything he does is
|
||||
unnecessarily dramatic. He was two words of text in the original.
|
||||
WATCH-LIST: no guns/knives EVER (Hollywood-hero drift); cans stay plain silver,
|
||||
no labels; the note stays crumpled paper, no readable writing; jaw stubble
|
||||
precise, never a full beard.
|
||||
|
||||
### BARRY (the aggrieved superfan — PiP heckler)
|
||||
Staging note (new): Barry's clips composite as a picture-in-picture box over
|
||||
frozen action, so his card AND all his scene clips are shot solo against a flat
|
||||
dark background — never inside a set. This makes the PiP clean and makes Barry
|
||||
immune to set drift. He is the cheapest, most reliable character we have.
|
||||
PORTRAIT — paste:
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, thick confident ink outlines, painterly
|
||||
gouache rendering, dramatic colored rim lighting, subtle film grain. Not
|
||||
photorealistic, not 3D, not CGI. A single character portrait, one person only,
|
||||
no readable text anywhere. A pale doughy man in his 40s with a patchy neckbeard,
|
||||
smudged rectangular glasses, a too-small faded t-shirt with an abstract
|
||||
unreadable design, a lanyard heavy with blank laminated badges, clutching a
|
||||
vintage beige computer-game box with no readable text to his chest with one hand
|
||||
and pointing an accusing finger directly at the viewer with the other,
|
||||
mid-outraged-rant expression. Waist-up, flat dark charcoal background, evenly lit.
|
||||
BODY: skip — Barry is always waist-up in a PiP box. Never full body.
|
||||
INFO box:
|
||||
Pauses the movie to complain about inaccuracies. Points at the screen. Quotes
|
||||
the original text adventure from memory, with references. His rage is scholarly,
|
||||
encyclopedic and completely correct. The action freezes when he speaks.
|
||||
WATCH-LIST: badges stay BLANK; game box stays blank; background stays flat
|
||||
charcoal (no rooms, no shelves); glasses smudged not opaque.
|
||||
|
||||
### MORP (the movie's overproduced entity)
|
||||
Two cards (new): an isolated FACE card for scene-referencing, plus the wide
|
||||
establishing shot kept as concept art only.
|
||||
FACE CARD — paste:
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
rendering, subtle film grain. Not photorealistic, not 3D, not CGI. A colossal
|
||||
serene god-face made of swirling purple and gold energy, crowned with an
|
||||
excessive halo of lens flares and orbiting abstract golden rune shapes, its
|
||||
expression infinitely calm and infinitely disappointed. The face fills the frame
|
||||
against a deep twilight sky. No text, no people, no buildings.
|
||||
INFO box:
|
||||
The original Morp was never described; the movie made it a two-hundred-million-
|
||||
dollar special effect. Speaks in movie-trailer platitudes. Is not cruel; is
|
||||
accurate. Its disappointment changes the weather.
|
||||
WATCH-LIST: serene, never angry or monstrous; purple-gold only (drifts to fire);
|
||||
runes stay abstract shapes, never letters.
|
||||
|
||||
### BECKY (chief of the BeckyWall)
|
||||
PORTRAIT — paste:
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
rendering, dramatic colored rim lighting, subtle film grain. Not photorealistic,
|
||||
not 3D, not CGI. A single character portrait, one person only, no readable text.
|
||||
A fiercely organized superfan commander in her 20s: high ponytail, glitter face
|
||||
paint under one eye like war paint, a denim jacket armored with hundreds of
|
||||
friendship bracelets and blank enamel pins, cargo skirt with water bottles and
|
||||
glow sticks holstered like ammunition, holding a plain megaphone, standing like
|
||||
a general. Waist-up, plain softly blurred dark background.
|
||||
BODY — paste:
|
||||
Full body, same woman, commander's stance on slightly spread feet, megaphone
|
||||
raised halfway, white sneakers. Same style, plain background, no text.
|
||||
INFO box:
|
||||
Commands the wall of fans blocking the shop door with military hand signals. Her
|
||||
queue discipline is absolute. Respects only those who know the setlist. The
|
||||
BeckyWall parts for no one. Deep down, she is waiting for five specific words.
|
||||
WATCH-LIST: pins/bracelets stay blank; megaphone plain, no logos; she is
|
||||
commanding, never villainous — the movie wrongly frames her as a boss, Barry
|
||||
objects, both are true.
|
||||
|
||||
### GERALD (the cat the food is for)
|
||||
CARD — paste:
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
rendering, subtle film grain. Not photorealistic, not 3D, not CGI. A scrawny
|
||||
alley cat with one notched ear, patchy gray-brown fur, and the narrowed
|
||||
unblinking eyes of a creature that can smell weakness, sitting upright on a
|
||||
suburban brick fence in dramatic golden evening light like a mob boss awaiting
|
||||
tribute. No text, no people.
|
||||
BODY: skip — full body already in frame (Mildred rule).
|
||||
INFO box:
|
||||
The entire plot exists because he is hungry. Can smell weakness. Withholds
|
||||
affection strategically. The movie gave him a heroic subplot; Barry has opinions.
|
||||
WATCH-LIST: scrawny, never cute/plump (drifts adorable); notched LEFT ear; he
|
||||
never runs — cats of his stature are carried or waited upon.
|
||||
|
||||
### THE CLERK — cameo, zero credits (new)
|
||||
The record shop clerk in this movie is played by DEZ. Import the Dez portrait +
|
||||
body cards from bible/flow_cards/ (dez_portrait.jpeg, dez_body.jpeg) into this
|
||||
project as a character named "The Clerk". Same universe, same actor, different
|
||||
gig. In MorpQuest canon the Clerk "notices. Pretends not to. But it counts." —
|
||||
that is a Dez line reading if ever there was one. Barry, for once, approves of
|
||||
this casting.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deliberately absent: UNCLE
|
||||
Uncle remains a handwritten list and a voice on the phone. The movie cast nobody.
|
||||
This is the one thing the adaptation got right, and Barry finds it suspicious.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## 2. STORY ARC — three acts across the real 14-room map
|
||||
Structure mirrors RSG's engine: action clip + death clip per scene, choice
|
||||
windows where the source had choices, Barry PiP interrupts as bonus scenes
|
||||
between acts, five-words prophecy as the collectible layer (engine's white-label
|
||||
system, re-skinned: collect a WORD per act location — RSD, FIRST, GLOBAL,
|
||||
AMBASSADOR, VERSION — all five = true ending).
|
||||
|
||||
ACT 1 — THE ERRAND (car → car park → entrance)
|
||||
The seatbelt won't release: the movie turns a paperclip puzzle into an escape-
|
||||
room setpiece. The car park is shot like a war zone. The BeckyWall guards the
|
||||
door. Act boss: Becky demands the setlist.
|
||||
ACT 2 — THE RIM TRILOGY (alley → toilet → yard → roof → kitchen → shop floor)
|
||||
Scenic Rim, Pacific Rim, Above the Rim — the movie shoots three alleys/rooftops
|
||||
as three different continents. The vinyl vine, the door-shaped absence, Dave's
|
||||
shoulder. Inside: the shop floor is SUSPICIOUSLY the Record Store Guy set —
|
||||
budget reuse, Barry notices. The Clerk (Dez) pretends not to notice anything.
|
||||
ACT 3 — THE WHITE LABEL (dance racks → listening → counter → back room → finale)
|
||||
The 45-adapter ritual, the eyepatch balloon, the beaded curtain treated like a
|
||||
tomb seal, the white label in a glowing briefcase ("it was always there" —
|
||||
delivered as a prophecy), the card terminal as a bomb-defusal scene, then the
|
||||
Becky hive confrontation: say the five words IN ORDER or face the Becky-grue.
|
||||
Win: the lollipop, the dispersal, the ignition. Gerald receives his tribute.
|
||||
Stinger: Morp's face in the rear-view mirror: "…drive safely." Sequel card.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## 3. FULL SHOT LIST — paste-ready, fully expanded
|
||||
Attach the listed character cards per shot. ⑂ = multi-character → Omni Flash or
|
||||
trim cards to 2. ⭐ = Veo Quality. Every prompt ends with the full style line.
|
||||
Deaths end held; the engine needs that freeze.
|
||||
|
||||
### ACT 1 — THE ERRAND
|
||||
|
||||
a1s1_action [The Guy]
|
||||
Interior of a beige hatchback car at golden hour, suburban street outside the
|
||||
windows. The Guy wrestles heroically with a jammed seatbelt shot like a
|
||||
submarine escape scene, then produces a single paperclip, holds it up to the
|
||||
light like a legendary blade, and picks the buckle free in dramatic slow motion.
|
||||
Tight interior shot, sweat and lens flare. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick
|
||||
ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions,
|
||||
no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract
|
||||
designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s1_death [The Guy]
|
||||
Interior of a beige hatchback car. The jammed seatbelt suddenly retracts and
|
||||
cocoons The Guy in strap webbing until only his face pokes out, mummified in
|
||||
seatbelt, eyes blinking twice. The clip ends held on this frame. Static interior
|
||||
shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s2_action [The Guy]
|
||||
A quiet suburban car park at golden hour shot like a war zone: shopping trolleys
|
||||
drift past like tumbleweeds, a pigeon scatters in slow motion. The Guy sprints
|
||||
low between parked cars, vaults a trolley, and rolls to cover behind a concrete
|
||||
pillar, cat-food cans glinting on his bandolier. Sweeping tracking shot. 1980s
|
||||
hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds,
|
||||
film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record
|
||||
sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s2_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A quiet suburban car park. A runaway shopping trolley clips The Guy mid-heroic-
|
||||
roll and he tumbles into a nest of forty tangled trolleys that fold around him
|
||||
like a bear trap, leaving one arm out giving a weak thumbs-up. The clip ends
|
||||
held on this frame. Static wide shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s3_action ⑂ [The Guy + Becky]
|
||||
A record shop entrance blocked by a wall of chanting identical superfans in
|
||||
friendship-bracelet jackets, arms linked. Becky stands atop a milk crate with
|
||||
her megaphone directing them with military hand signals as The Guy attempts a
|
||||
slow-motion running crowd-surf over the wall and is calmly passed backward by a
|
||||
hundred hands and deposited on the pavement. Epic wide shot. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s3_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A wall of superfans at a shop doorway. The crowd absorbs The Guy entirely like a
|
||||
sea anemone taking in a fish — one boot is left sticking out of the wall of
|
||||
denim jackets, kicking once, then still. The clip ends held on this frame.
|
||||
Static medium shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines,
|
||||
painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark;
|
||||
all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no
|
||||
lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a1s4_action [The Guy] (poster-frenzy — WORD 1 collectible scene: RSD)
|
||||
Outside the shop entrance, dusk. A blizzard of shredded paper poster fragments
|
||||
whirls around The Guy like a snow globe; he snatches fragments from the air one
|
||||
by one and holds them up, eyes widening as unseen meaning assembles, dramatic
|
||||
orchestral lighting. Slow push-in. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
### BARRY PiP PACK (4 clips, reusable everywhere, cheapest scenes in the game)
|
||||
All four: flat dark charcoal background, waist-up, Barry only.
|
||||
|
||||
barry_rant_1 [Barry]
|
||||
Flat dark charcoal background, even lighting. Barry clutches his vintage blank
|
||||
game box and erupts into an outraged scholarly rant directly at camera, jabbing
|
||||
his finger at the viewer, flecks of spit, escalating disbelief, then folds his
|
||||
arms in disgusted finality. Static medium shot, waist-up. 1980s hand-drawn cel
|
||||
animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
barry_rant_2 [Barry]
|
||||
Flat dark charcoal background. Barry pinches the bridge of his nose under his
|
||||
glasses, takes a long-suffering breath, holds up one finger, begins a patient
|
||||
professorial correction that accelerates into wild gesticulation, ending with
|
||||
both hands raised to the heavens. Static medium shot, waist-up. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
barry_approves [Barry]
|
||||
Flat dark charcoal background. Barry starts to point accusingly, hesitates,
|
||||
slowly lowers the finger, nods grudging respect directly at camera, and wipes
|
||||
away a single proud tear behind his glasses. The clip ends held on the nod.
|
||||
Static medium shot, waist-up. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
barry_gameover [Barry] (plays on GAME OVER)
|
||||
Flat dark charcoal background. Barry closes his eyes, hugs his blank game box to
|
||||
his chest like a wounded comrade, shakes his head in slow devastated
|
||||
disappointment, and mouths a silent "why". The clip ends held on the head shake.
|
||||
Static medium shot, waist-up. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
### ACT 2 — THE RIM TRILOGY
|
||||
|
||||
a2s1_action [The Guy] (Scenic Rim)
|
||||
A narrow brick alley beside a record shop, shot absurdly like a sweeping epic
|
||||
canyon vista with god rays and drifting mist. The Guy edges along a completely
|
||||
ordinary flat wall as though it were a cliff ledge, pressing his back to the
|
||||
brick, one wheelie bin below filmed like a thousand-foot drop. Sweeping crane
|
||||
shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s1_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A narrow brick alley. The Guy loses his grip on the flat ordinary wall and
|
||||
plummets a full one metre into an open wheelie bin, legs sticking straight up
|
||||
kicking once among banana peels, filmed with avalanche gravity. The clip ends
|
||||
held on this frame. High angle. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s2_action [The Guy] (Pacific Rim — the toilet. WORD 2: FIRST)
|
||||
A tiny grimy shop toilet lit like a submarine bridge, red emergency glow, pipes
|
||||
hissing steam. The Guy braces against the walls as the room shudders like a
|
||||
depth-charged vessel, reaches into the cupboard and extracts a single elastic
|
||||
band, holding it up in triumph as water drips. Claustrophobic shot. 1980s
|
||||
hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds,
|
||||
film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record
|
||||
sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s2_death [The Guy] (the mouldy kebab — canon death, Barry-certified)
|
||||
A tiny grimy shop toilet. The Guy notices an ancient mouldy kebab on the
|
||||
windowsill, glances left and right, and takes a bite despite everything; he
|
||||
freezes, turns gray-green, and topples backward stiff as a board out of frame
|
||||
with one hand still holding the kebab aloft. The clip ends held on the risen
|
||||
kebab hand. Static shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines,
|
||||
painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark;
|
||||
all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no
|
||||
lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s3_action [The Guy] (the vinyl vine)
|
||||
A cluttered shop backyard at dusk. A thick vine of tangled vinyl records and
|
||||
cables snakes up the back wall to the roof; The Guy tests it with one hand,
|
||||
delivers a solemn nod to nobody, and begins climbing it like a commando scaling
|
||||
a fortress, records rotating under his grip. Low heroic angle. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s3_death [The Guy] (canon-error death — the vine was load-bearing dialogue)
|
||||
A cluttered shop backyard at dusk. Mid-climb the vinyl vine unravels record by
|
||||
record like a zipper opening from the bottom, and The Guy descends with it in
|
||||
slow dignified defeat into a pile of soft rubbish bags, buried to the chest,
|
||||
one record spinning down to land on his head. The clip ends held on this frame.

|
||||
|
||||
a2s4_action [The Guy] (Above the Rim — the door-shaped absence)
|
||||
A flat shop rooftop at dusk shot like a mountain summit, wind, drifting cloud
|
||||
haze. The Guy plants one boot on the parapet, surveys the suburban horizon like
|
||||
a conquering explorer, then turns to find a faint door-shaped outline glowing
|
||||
subtly on the brick wall and traces it with one finger in awe. Epic then
|
||||
intimate. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
a2s4_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A flat shop rooftop at dusk. A gust of completely ordinary wind catches The
|
||||
Guy's heroic pose and he windmills his arms in slow motion before toppling
|
||||
backward off the one-storey roof into an unseen hedge below with a soft crunch;
|
||||
a few leaves drift up past the parapet. The clip ends held on the drifting
|
||||
leaves. Static shot at roof edge. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs

|
||||
|
||||
a2s5_action ⑂ [The Guy + The Clerk(Dez)] (Dave's door, recast — WORD 3: GLOBAL)
|
||||
A shop kitchen side door, harsh fluorescent light. The Clerk — a lanky young man
|
||||
with a tall black quiff, red flannel and headphones around his neck — squints at
|
||||
the door, delivers an entire monologue of skepticism with only his eyebrows,
|
||||
then shoulders the door open with casual violence and gestures The Guy through
|
||||
with two fingers, unimpressed. Static two-shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation,
|
||||
thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no
|
||||
captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or
|
||||
abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s5_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A shop kitchen, harsh fluorescent light. The Guy attempts to shoulder the side
|
||||
door heroically before it is unlocked and rebounds off it in full slow motion,
|
||||
spinning twice with theatrical grace before landing flat on his back on the
|
||||
tiles, limbs in a chalk-outline pose. The clip ends held on this frame. High
|
||||
angle. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s6_action ⑂ [The Guy + The Clerk(Dez)] (the shop floor — the SET REUSE gag)
|
||||
Inside a cluttered record store with neon glow and a checkerboard floor —
|
||||
unmistakably the same set as a certain other movie, one shelf still toppled. The
|
||||
Guy strides in filming it like a discovered temple while The Clerk restocks a
|
||||
crate, notices the audience, pretends not to, and keeps working. Slow reverent
|
||||
dolly. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a2s6_death [The Guy]
|
||||
Inside the cluttered record store. The Guy dramatically fails to notice the one
|
||||
toppled shelf, trips over it at full heroic stride, and surfs face-first down an
|
||||
aisle on a cascade of records before coming to rest buried to the waist,
|
||||
upside-down, legs scissoring. The clip ends held on this frame. Tracking then
|
||||
static. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.

### ACT 3 — THE WHITE LABEL
|
||||
|
||||
a3s1_action [The Guy] (45-adapter ritual — WORD 4: AMBASSADOR)
|
||||
A vintage wood-paneled listening booth, warm amber light, a glowing turntable
|
||||
console. The Guy holds a small plastic 45 adapter aloft with both hands like a
|
||||
holy relic as golden light rays burst from it, then lowers it onto the spindle
|
||||
in extreme slow motion, dust motes orbiting. Reverent close-up. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s1_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A vintage listening booth, warm amber light. The turntable rejects the adapter,
|
||||
which pings off the walls in ricocheting slow motion while The Guy dives after
|
||||
it with outstretched fingers, misses, and lands draped over the console as the
|
||||
adapter rolls to a mocking stop just out of reach. The clip ends held on his
|
||||
outstretched hand. Static shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s2_action [The Guy] (the eyepatch balloon)
|
||||
The record store dance aisle, neon glow. A sad deflated balloon droops from a
|
||||
shelf; The Guy stretches an elastic band around it with surgical concentration,
|
||||
fashions a perfect eyepatch, and puts it ON HIMSELF, striking a battle-ready
|
||||
pose as wind machines blow his hair. Heroic low angle. 1980s hand-drawn cel
|
||||
animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s2_death [The Guy]
|
||||
The record store dance aisle. The elastic band snaps back off the balloon and
|
||||
catches The Guy square between the eyes; he stands perfectly still for a beat,
|
||||
eyes crossing, then falls backward rigid as a plank into a display of records
|
||||
that collapses around him like applause. The clip ends held on this frame.
|
||||
Static wide. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly
|
||||
gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs,
|
||||
posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s3_action ⑂ [The Guy + The Clerk(Dez)] (the beaded curtain — WORD 5: VERSION)
|
||||
A record store counter at night, tense low light. The Clerk studies The Guy for
|
||||
a long moment, then wordlessly reaches under the counter; a beaded curtain
|
||||
behind him begins to glow and sway with tomb-opening gravity, beads clicking
|
||||
like a countdown, as The Guy's face fills with awe. Slow push-in through the
|
||||
parting beads. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly
|
||||
gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs,
|
||||
posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s3_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A record store counter at night. The Guy attempts to walk through the beaded
|
||||
curtain before being invited and the beads constrict around him like a net,
|
||||
lifting him gently off the floor where he dangles rotating slowly, resigned.
|
||||
The clip ends held on the slow rotation. Static shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel
|
||||
animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s4_action ⭐ [The Guy] (the white label — the MacGuffin)
|
||||
A dim storeroom stacked with record boxes, one spotlight. A briefcase on a
|
||||
crate clicks open by itself, flooding the room with golden light; The Guy's awed
|
||||
face is bathed in the glow as he lifts out a pure white-sleeved record with
|
||||
both hands, holding it like a newborn, dust motes wheeling in the beam. It was
|
||||
always there. Slow orbital shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
|
||||
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
|
||||
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs
|
||||
with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s4_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A dim storeroom stacked with record boxes. The tower of boxes beside The Guy
|
||||
leans, pauses courteously as if waiting for him to notice, then buries him
|
||||
completely; the white-sleeved record flutters down and lands face-up on the
|
||||
pile, immaculate. The clip ends held on the record atop the pile. Static shot.
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s5_action [The Guy] (the card terminal — bomb defusal)
|
||||
A record store counter, harsh spotlight, sweat-drop tension. The Guy hovers a
|
||||
bank card over a chunky payment terminal shot like a bomb-defusal: extreme
|
||||
close-ups of his eyes, the card trembling, one bead of sweat falling in slow
|
||||
motion — then the gentle tap, a soft green glow, and his knees buckle with
|
||||
relief. Intercut close-ups. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines,
|
||||
painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark;
|
||||
all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no
|
||||
lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s5_death [The Guy]
|
||||
A record store counter, harsh spotlight. The payment terminal emits a single
|
||||
soft decline chime; the lights dim, a cold wind ruffles The Guy's hair, and he
|
||||
ages ten years on the spot, hollow-eyed, as the card slides from his fingers.
|
||||
The clip ends held on his thousand-yard stare. Slow push-in. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s6_action ⑂⭐ [The Guy + Becky] (THE FIVE WORDS — the finale)
|
||||
The shop entrance at night, the wall of superfans swaying as one organism,
|
||||
Becky atop her milk crate, megaphone lowered. The Guy steps forward, plants his
|
||||
feet, and speaks five unheard words counted on his fingers, one by one, each
|
||||
finger-count landing like a thunderclap with a pulse of light, as the crowd's
|
||||
swaying gradually stills and every head tilts in unison. Epic slow push-in.
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s6_death ⭐ [The Guy] (the Becky-grue — canon: never improvise the words)
|
||||
The shop entrance at night. The Guy improvises, gesturing jazz-hands vaguely on
|
||||
the third finger-count; the crowd's heads all snap toward him at once, the
|
||||
streetlights die one by one down the block, and the last frame is his small
|
||||
gulp in darkness lit only by a hundred pairs of narrowed eyes. The clip ends
|
||||
held on the eyes. Static wide, darkening. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick
|
||||
ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions,
|
||||
no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract
|
||||
designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s7_win ⭐ [The Guy + Gerald]
|
||||
A suburban brick fence in golden dawn light. The Guy kneels and presents an
|
||||
opened cat-food can to Gerald with bowed head like a knight offering tribute;
|
||||
Gerald regards it, regards him, takes one unhurried bite, and permits a single
|
||||
head-bump against The Guy's outstretched hand as the sun crests the rooftops.
|
||||
The clip ends held on the head-bump. Reverent low angle. 1980s hand-drawn cel
|
||||
animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No
|
||||
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank
|
||||
or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
a3s8_stinger ⭐ [The Guy] (post-credits — Morp in the mirror)
|
||||
Interior of the beige hatchback at dawn, The Guy exhales in the driver's seat
|
||||
and checks the rear-view mirror: filling the mirror is a colossal serene
|
||||
god-face of swirling purple and gold energy with a halo of lens flares,
|
||||
infinitely calm, infinitely disappointed. The Guy blinks; the mirror shows only
|
||||
road. He drives. The clip ends held on the empty mirror. Static interior shot.
|
||||
1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache
|
||||
backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters
|
||||
and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.

||||
### SPECIALS
|
||||
|
||||
bm_attract [no characters]
|
||||
Slow dolly across a suburban shopping strip at dusk toward one glowing record
|
||||
shop window, a wall of superfans swaying gently outside it, litter drifting
|
||||
cinematically, one distant streetlight flickering. Loopable mood shot, nothing
|
||||
else happens. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly
|
||||
gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs,
|
||||
posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
bm_title ⭐ [no characters]
|
||||
A grand orchestral title sequence over a suburban shopping strip at dawn: five
|
||||
blank ornate title cards dissolve one into another, each more gilded and
|
||||
self-important than the last, each an abstract title-shaped block with no
|
||||
readable letters, the final card shattering into paper fragments that whirl
|
||||
toward the record shop. Sweeping aerial. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick
|
||||
ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions,
|
||||
no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract
|
||||
designs with no lettering.
|
||||
|
||||
bm_sequelbait [no characters] (THE MORPING HORROR 2 teaser — deliberately awful)
|
||||
Gritty desaturated rain on a night street, a silhouette morphing badly between
|
||||
shapes with cheap stretching, random lightning, an abrupt zoom on nothing. It
|
||||
looks worse than the game of the book of the movie of the game, on purpose. The
|
||||
clip ends on an abrupt cut to black. Handheld shaky shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel
|
||||
animation degraded toward murky 2000s grading, thick ink outlines barely
|
||||
visible, film grain heavy. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs are
|
||||
blank.
|
||||
|
||||
bm_needleskip [no characters]
|
||||
A suburban shopping strip scene judders violently sideways twice like a
|
||||
skipping record, images tearing and repeating with horizontal displacement,
|
||||
then snaps to black. One-second transition effect, no people. 1980s hand-drawn
|
||||
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain.
|
||||
No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs are blank.
